I miss working from home. I enjoy the social aspects of the office, but I also need my time and space.

Killing the Magic Kingdom - Disney's Most Devastating Mistake Yet So, uh. You may have heard. The termination date for the Rivers of America and all of its charming attractions has been set for July 7th, 2025.Β  I've been waiting for this news in slow

WDW killing off the Rivers of America is an absolute tragedy....

As always, @foxxnolte.bsky.social nails it here:

"...the little things that didn’t need to be there but were wonderful when you found them."

Yet, I feel that so much of Disney's general success and online culture right now is based on this.

Foxx's personal stories here are palpable, and the loss of it has set in more and more.

Maybe they referenced a few other photos. I suspect some of the artistic liberties were a composite of different photos/angles. I can tell where there are some similarities with different buttes and such.

Absolutely unacceptable. This will cut so many good jobs in Houston and beyond.

We all know that NASA, and the contractors that support it, fuels new innovation.

We must have *bipartisan* outrage against this to quickly remove these bad cuts from Trump’s disastrous budget!

I would definitely want a copy. Hopefully they’ll still be in stock when I go in May.

New Orleans Square is honestly my favorite land at Disneyland, even with all the questionable changes made over the past 15-20 years.

Video/music editing is a skill I can put on my resumΓ©, right? I’m curious because I’ve seen conflicting info. I’m not primarily an editor, but I figure it can’t hurt.

This should not be happening anywhere, let alone in this country. This is something we have always heard about happening in other countries and I don’t think that’s anything to emulate.

I have been a longtime advocate of arming oneself, much to the chagrin of my fellow liberals. We gotta be strapped and have as many resources as possible to oppose authoritarianism.

Black and white photo of a barge on the water against the New York skyline, featuring the Sinclair Oil logo and the words β€œSinclair Dinosaurs On Way To N. Y. World’s Fair.” Six life-size dinosaurs appear to be looking towards land. From left to right (if I remember correctly) Tyrannosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, Diplodocus and Iguanodon.

Yep, I have. General theme park content always gives enough inspiration

I’m not that John Lynch, but I am interested in this book now.

However, the book I’m working on is about a theme park ride that was built in the 1960’s.

Is it related for the Redwood Creek area near Grizzly River Run? It looks like there are planes, log cabins, and trees with rope courses.

As a current library director and a librarian for over 30 years, this will devastate public libraries. My system uses these funds for computer replacements, youth programming, and databases for residents. It’s also library construction funds. This is important.

A trivial social error has been greatly exacerbated by an autistic person’s unnecessary apology for it, sources have claimed.
